Application filed January 16, 1907. Serial No. 362,616.

To all whmwit may concern Be it known that I, HANS DEIERL, hair dresser, a citizen of Germany, residing at Munich, Bavaria, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electrical Hair-Curlers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention ,relates to an electrical hair-curler consisting of an outer case of any desired section containing the electrical resistance for heatin the curler, this case being fitted at one or both ends with a handle serving at the same time as electrical connector.

' This hair-curlerembodies not only all the advanta es of the ordinary hair-curler con:

sisting o a single cylindrical piece, but possesses the further advantage of artificial heating by means of electricity.

The following elucidation of the manner of using this curler will make its advantages apparent. These new electric hair-curlers are i'irst arranged on the head one after the other in any desired number in exactly the same Way as the ordinary curlers, the connections with the electric mains being, lrowever, left away, so that the curlers are first applied cold. As soon as all curlers have been arranged the connections with the source of electrical supply are made and the current for all curlers is switched on at the same time.

This method has not only the advantage that the curlers can be applied with the same ease as the ordinary form of curling-iron the connecting-wires in no way hindering the opera-. tor, but also that all curls are formed at the same time and together, so that after switchmg on the current it is only necessary to controlthe effect of the heat at one point. If

' the desired eii ct has been attained with one curler, this wil also be. the case with. all the other curlers. As compared with the use of the ordinary curling-tongs this method with electric curlers presents the essential advantage of a great saving of time, since the time and attention required for the actualcnrling is only required once.

The'drawing represents such an electric curler in longitudinal central section.

a is the metal case; c,-an insulating tube or v cover of mica or the like for the heating resistance b. one or both ends with an insulating-handle This metal case a is provided at.

(Z c, consisting of porcelain or other similar insulator, which handle serves at the same time as a socket for the connnecting-plug or. I

For this purpose the hollow handle contains metal contact-sleeves f g, which are electrically connectedwith the heating resistance.

This form of construction gives the curlers a handy and convenient form both for use and for storing and, further, makes it possible to easily disconnect the curlers from the conducting-wires for the purpose of arranging or removing the curlers or during the process of cooling.

In order to secure thev hair to the case a during the process of curling by means of an india-rubber band or similar device, the handles (Z 6 may be provided with lugs h, con taining slots for the reception of the ends of these bands.

For forming the curls known by'the name of Marcell waves two or more electric curlers of the heretofore-described type can be arranged parallel to one another at certain intervals, there being only one handle common to all curlers. Naturally all connections will then be united in this one handle.

What I claim as my invention, and 'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an electrical hair-curler, the combination, with an exterior casing and an electrical heating resistance therein, of an insulating-tube arranged intermediate the heating resistance and the casing, and means independent of, said casing for conducting current to the heating resistance.

2. Man electrical hair-curler, the combination, with a casing and an electrical heat-' ing resistance within said casing, of means at each end of said casing arranged to receive a hair-retaining device.

In an electrical hair-curler, the combi nation, with a casing, a handle of insulating material at each end of said casing, and an electrical contact device Within each handle and arranged to form connections with a source of current, of an electrical heating resistance Within said casing and having its respective terminals connected to the contact devices.
